ing course held last week by Robert

per cent, of tlte students registered
three periods of. community tinging on

During his week's stay, Mr. Lawrence

ments of beating time, and the exact
way of leading several familiar songs.
Two students from each class were
selected by Mr. Lawrence Saturday af-
ternoon, to form the nucleus of the com-
munity singing club. Under the leader-
ship of Miss Dowd, they will continue
the classes, organising new rhythm drills
and arrange for the students to lead
sings at the community center.

Wednesday night Mr. Lawrence led
a sing in the chapel with the same pro-
gram he uses in street sings for children.
Afterwards he showed slides of a sing
in New York, some of them illustrating
the new "Singing Wagon" devised for
daylight sings. Among the pictures of
noon hour sings in industrial plants
were some of quartets, glee clubs, anJ
bands, that had been formed by the em-
ployees as a result of the sing*.
In a abort sing at the community
center Thursday night Mr. Lawrence
demonstrated many of the principles he
had taught and showed several tricks
for making an audience laugh.

VARSITY OVERWHELMED BY ALL-PHILADELPHIA, M
Loses Last Game of Season
Losing its big game for the first time
in three years, Bryn Mawr was crush-
ed 8-0 by All-Philadelphia last Saturday
in the final game of the season.
With the exception of M. Warren. '21,
left half-back, the full Varsity team lined
up when the whistle blew. The All-
Philadelphia team was made up of five
players from Philadelphia, two from Ger-
man town, two from Lansdownc, one
from Hsddoufield and one from Mer-
lon, most of whom have played here
many tunas before. E. Biddle, '19, sub-
stituting for E. R��d, left full-back, was
a former Vgraity player.
Lack of force and aggressiveness on
the part of the Varsity forward line,
slow passing and weak shooting, kept
Bryn Mawr from scoring. The halves
and fulls fought hard, and again and
again checked the rushes of the All-
PhiUdelphia forwards, sending the ball
up to the wings and insjdes, who fum-
bled and hesitated until the opposing
halfbacks were upon them.

On account of the formidable barrier
set up by Captain Carey at center half,
and B. Weaver and E. Donahue on the
left, All-Philadelphia used Miss Coadon

NEW CHAPERQNE RULES AT FIRST
MONTHLY SELF-GOV. MEETING
Heaer System Discussed
New chaperone rules passed a feeble
opposition at the first monthly meeting
of the Self-Government Association held
last night under the new constitution,
which delegates to the student body
power that formerly rested with the Ex-
ecutive Board.
Pointing out the necessity of individ-
ual responsibility, A. Harrison. '20, em-
phasised the importance of the Honor
System. A sense of the meeting in fa-
vor of the system at Bryn Mawr was
passed.

On Saturday evening, December sixth,
the Graduate Club hallowed a new tradi-
tion by producing a pray. In choosing
Lawrence Housman's "Prunella," with
its meagre demand upon the scene-shift-
er and costumer, the graduates set an
admirable precedent.
Now a graduate is supposedly a Be-
ing sad generis, with no other diversions
than those of attending afternoon classes
and preparing unnecessary reports upon
irrelevant topics. Saturday evening gave
as all a vary delightful indication that
the rigor of achotasticiam ie not a rigor
mortis, and that to be charming one
does not have to expend stores of time,
money and energy on doing elaborate
things. Indeed, the producers showed
an almost Garlic Instinct for getting ef-
fects by wholly simple means The
scenery wsa admirably unelaboratr; a
straight hedge acroaa the stage, a burst
of paper tulips, and a few sprays of pa-
pilionaceous but botanicatly not fur-
ther identifiable blossoms, a house-wall,
and finely carved hut inexpensive bust of
Cupid gave the spirit of a prim and trim
